    Toronto 2040 Queen Street East | 23.91m | 6s | Crombie | RAW Design

    I hope the "revocation" of parking rights only lasts like, say, the first five years of residence. They should probably have an equal shot at street parking after that. Lol, this city love to create entitlements. And it's almost always in favour of established people at the expense of others.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    It would be nice if we lived in a world where the same amount of hand-wringing was extended to renters who are evicted because their landlord wants to renovate or because the landlord's "family member" is moving in... for some reason homeowners are afforded more public sympathy. Wonder why...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    It's pretty clear from these maps that it wouldn't be safe for someone to be occupying those very old houses (most are +/- 100 years old) while extensive excavation is going on underneath. This area has sufficient parkland. Withrow Park, Riverdale Park, Greenwood Park all within 500m. This...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Great location for a midrise along Pape, maybe with some retail and townhouses at ground level. I'm pretty sure the block along Langley is envisioned as something similar. It'll be a nice little pocket of TOC when finished.

    Toronto Toronto House | 186.53m | 58s | Westbank | Hariri Pontarini

    It comes down to the developer... Allied is in the top 5% (higher?) when it comes to design, few others will match the quality of their details. Westbank too, and they're based in Vancouver (so your comment about downtown Van makes sense)

    Toronto Cosburn Transit-Oriented Community | 100.4m | 29s | Infrastructure ON | SvN

    You mean sue the province? The city has nothing to do with the Ontario Line.

    Toronto St Lawrence Condos at 158 Front | 91.44m | 26s | Cityzen | a—A

    Whoever it was, they didn't do a great job. The units have so many issues- malfunctioning AC, poorly fitted pipes that leak, plaster splattered on windows and floors, cracks in walls, oversensitive smoke alarms. On top of that the pool malfunctioned last month and flooded five floors down. Can...

    Toronto 786-788 Queen East | 20.66m | 6s | Papadakis | Dreamview

    This should be allowed as-of-right. Certain councillors (and East End NIMBYs) love to say "I'm not anti-development, it just has to be the right kind of development", yet the City makes small scale, sensitive proposals like this jump through the same hoops as the large condo towers that they...

    General cycling issues (Is Toronto bike friendly?)

    Folks, can someone explain why the Adelaide bike lane was moved to the north side of the street? Does it have something to do with Ontario Line construction and the streetcar diversions? What used to be among the fastest, most convenient bike lanes in the city has become nearly useless. The new...

    Some of these posts sound suspiciously like you are all trying to sell units in this building ;)

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge Commercial | 170.8m | 40s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    I think it is very shameful that our heritage preservation system is abused to protect shacks on Queen St E while this building of architectural and cultural significance (and *massive* amounts of embedded carbon) doesn't have any sort of designation. What a joke. Time to designate more...

    Looks like it's time for that GO station at Spadina and Front.... paging @Reecemartin

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Got a new vantage point NE of this project. It is absolutely flying…. looks to be 8-9 new floors since April 1. Excited to watch it go up.

    Toronto Quay House | 73.15m | 21s | Empire | Kirkor

    Topped out… not so bad looking from the north.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    I'm not sure why folks here are so convinced that Phase 2 is going to be the eastern extension. I would bet good money that OL is going west before it ever touches Sheppard. Consider who is calling the shots at Queens Park right now and where his riding/house is.... Also consider the plans for...

    Toronto Quayside | ?m | ?s | Dream

    Even if the architecture pans out to be 50% of what is in these renders... this might be Toronto's best master-planned community. The views from the amenity spaces on that skybridge.... 🥴🥴🥴

    Toronto King-Bathurst Transit Oriented Community: North Site | 88.9m | 25s | Infrastructure ON | SvN

    The façades have been disassembled and put into storage to be used once the new TOC buildings are constructed.

    Toronto Macdonald Block Reconstruction | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON | WZMH

    The fear of lawsuits from any injuries/deaths will prevent any exceptions from being made, too risky. I assure you that this mistake was almost certainly made by an overpaid private sector contractor or consultant.

    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    City's official definition; Bathurst to the Don, lake to rail corridor. Obviously rents are cheaper on the east side and in older buildings, but I saw 2b/2bs in Time and Space that were advertised for 2600. Brand new units with good views- obviously the building has its issues, but that's not...
